Wayne Rooney - discuss

£250,000 a week. And he's not even very good at what he does, as John Humphrys observed the other morning. And he's not going to endear himself to the Old Trafford faithful. Can you really see the little shit still being at Manchester United in five years' time?

If he did a 40 hour week, that would be £6,250 per hour. Over a hundred quid a minute.

Rooney clearly hasn’t got the brains for this scam so must conclude it’s an audacious, yet brilliant game of bluff played out by his agent.
It’s win-win all the way and his agent has played a blinder. Top marks in my opinion.
Man Utd are millions in debt and edging ever closer to the point of no return, they are the fools in this charade – not Spud.
His agent called them out and he won.
Rooney is a Gazza style car crash just waiting to happen. His agent knows that and went for one last ‘hurrah’...but he caught the Man Utd rabbits in his headlights and they decided it was worth being even deeper in debt just to stop him going elsewhere.
Rooney would be more use to Utd if he was undermining team spirit at some other club.
Rooney has never been more than ‘quite good’ and is clearly on the Wayne (geddit) – which makes the scam even more audacious.
Football is ridiculous, you can’t really blame the foul mouthed whingeing litte runt for that.
What would a fully fit Trevor Francis be worth these days – that man would have been one of the all time greats if scabby thugs hadn’t kicked lumps out of him when he was a kid.

I liked David "one trick pony" Beckham trying to say how good Rooney was on the news.
I know in the last 6 months Rooney has been shite, and Becks has watched him, but y'know, he's just, y'know got this special y'know talent and is y'know world class.y'know.

I was going to blame Sky but then I thought I should blame myself for paying for it. In the end though I've decided to blame BT. They had a free run at the football on TV and decided to stick with phones.
